We are trapped within a maze of our own doing. We flit from scene to scene, we pace, we march in place. Always sensing a malevolent impending, always suspicious of a conspiracy, a plot; an unknown unknown. We try to slip silently, perhaps unnoticed, from location to location, to keep out of reach of this seemingly sinister harm; whilst, always, trying to stealthily divine its source. But, in exhaustion and hopelessness we fall down, head in hands, and in doing so, realise that the black gloves have been cloaking our very own fingers since the outset\u201c.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A conceptual sequel to the fbcabric &amp; reindeer &#8216;It\u2019s Not Who You Know, It\u2019s Whom You Know,&#8217; this 16-track limited edition double vinyl in 4 parts utilizes various \u2018field recordings,\u2019 from environmental sounds throughout his travels in Europe and North America to dialogue samples of President Truman and Robert Oppenheimer, taking you on an experiential journey through the fallen Western World of murky dreams and alluring weightlessness\u2014no, this is not an album that\u2019s going to offer you any definiteness; rather, it endeavors to move you through the cavernous entrails of your own confused feelings via hallucinogenic impressions, spectral mirages and tones, carrying you from track to track through the chemical skies and radioactive rubble.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention that this album also includes a beautiful lyric booklet with original drawings by Reymundo Perez III (AKA Mildew of Papervehicle), and a digital download code as well, the entire package reminiscent of Reindeer\u2019s notoriously complex and involved hand-crafted \u2018Fragments from the Field\u2019 packages containing forged documents from a seemingly eternal, glitchy atomic field.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/jamesreindeer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">jamesreindeer.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Experimental South-London artist Reindeer shares stark urban video for Field Reports from the Western Lands, which is lifted from his genre-bending debut album due March <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=28718\" title=\"Reindeer unveils \u2018Field Reports from the Western Lands\u2019 video\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28719,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4713,23,28,29,30],"tags":[7119,7118,7117],"class_list":["post-28718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hip-hop","category-indie","category-music","category-music-video","category-new-release","tag-anette-records","tag-field-reports-from-the-western-lands","tag-reindeer"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/27466-7b1029bd0ac807ee3b244b6baa64f530.jpg?fit=640%2C360","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-7tc","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":27972,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=27972","url_meta":{"origin":28718,"position":0},"title":"Reindeer shares gritty video for &#8216;Description of a Struggle&#8217;","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"January 26, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Experimental South-London artist Reindeer shares the gritty video for Description of a Struggle, lifted from the genre-bending debut album \u2018Field Reports from the Western Lands\u2019 due 30th March via Anette Records.
